Thread Tension Unit Adjustments
1.
If there is no tension, check the thread tension release bracket. When the presser foot is
down, the distance between the silver post and the black bracket that forces the discs open
should be .8-1.0 mm. To make an adjustment, loosen the small Phillips screw directly behind
the c-clip and pivot the silver post left or right accordingly.
2.
Reset the tension by turning the small, silver, flat-head screw on the side of the unit all
the way toward the plus (or counter-clockwise). Now set it by turning it clockwise 1-1/2 full
rotations (or 16 clicks). You should see about two vertical lines
(see red arrow in photo)
on
the small white gear. A new tension unit will already be set to factory specs.
